Chapter 934 Rooney is in trouble!
As the world's biggest star and also hailed by countless people as the greatest football player of all time, Su Dong's entire career is hailed as a textbook of scientific training.
Every day, countless media reporters, football practitioners and fans pay attention to Su Dong's every move, including eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping.
Because of Su Dong, his four personal trainers have become authorities in their respective fields.
Needless to say, Nuno Cruz is an expert in the field of sports analysis. Italian Vito Scala has become a top personal trainer that all professional players are eager to work with. Englishman Grant Downing has become the world's top sports rehabilitation and physiotherapy expert.
Even Paulo Lacasco, the least famous and least noticed nutrition expert, has become a leader in the field of sports nutrition, and his courses at the University of Lisbon are favored by nutritionists all over the world.
In the past few years, with the rise of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, the field of sports science has developed rapidly, especially with the attention of many prestigious universities. The investment in scientific research has become increasingly greater, exchanges have become more frequent, and the entire industry has developed very rapidly.
At present, almost every team in the top league is equipped with multiple nutritionists, sports rehabilitation and physical therapy have received unprecedented attention, and sports analysis and big data statistics have also become a hot spot that all teams are rushing to.
These are not only prevalent in the first team, but have even begun to enter the youth team.
It is precisely because of the rapid development of the industry and scientific research that many concepts in the past are undergoing major changes.
The simplest point is like diet.
Many foods that were strictly prohibited in the past are now gradually being allowed.
For example, Paul Lacasco could accept Su Dong eating rice because he found that as a Chinese who grew up eating rice, eating rice helped Su Dong maintain a better emotional state, and emotions affected his body's metabolism.
A few days ago, the temperature in Manchester turned cold. Some media reported that Manchester City players ate pizza and hamburgers. This immediately caused an uproar among the media and fans. Isn't this junk food in everyone's mouth? How can the players touch these things?
Therefore, Guardiola had to quickly ask the club's nutritionist to come forward and clarify these things, saying that these were pizzas and hamburgers specially customized for the players by the club's nutritionists, and all the food was approved by the nutritionists.
They believe that through scientific and reasonable combinations, even pizza and hamburgers can provide players with balanced nutrition.
Yes, today's sports nutrition is no longer simply about what you can eat and what you cannot eat. Instead, it emphasizes balanced nutrition and personalized customization for players. It provides different foods for different players with different physical fitness and different eating habits. It provides players with balanced nutrition, helps them maintain a good mental state, and helps them perform better on the court.
Manchester City's external clarification also caused a certain response. After all, this is one of the few opportunities for the club to introduce the team's internal operating secrets to the public.
If Manchester City players can enjoy such treatment, then the standards of Su Dong are even higher.
For example, every morning a special supply of fruits and vegetables would be delivered to his estate.
The chef he hired would wash, cut and juice the fruits and vegetables and provide them to Su Dong after his morning exercise.
…
When Su Dong came to the restaurant after finishing his morning exercise, freshly squeezed juice and fruits were already prepared.
This is his habit. After using these, he replenishes water and nutrition, and then goes to Carrington for breakfast.
Manchester City has strict regulations on this. Guardiola requires players to eat breakfast and lunch at the training base. They can eat dinner at the training base, pack it up and take it home, or cook it themselves at home, depending on the players' preference.
As soon as Su Dong sat down, Wang Chuqing walked in from outside with a stack of newspapers in her hand and placed it in front of Su Dong.
"I took a look and found that several newspapers did not make the front-page headlines." The girl smiled jokingly.
"No?" Su Dong frowned, "Is there anything more important than this game?"
Wang Chuqing picked up the Daily Mail at random, and the front-page headline was about Ferguson's rage in the locker room.
Ferguson's hair dryer was directly turned on in typhoon mode, almost blowing off the ceiling of Old Trafford.
But it's no wonder that Ferguson was angry after suffering such a humiliating defeat at home for two consecutive seasons.
But getting angry won't help.
Manchester United’s biggest problem now is actually the lack of player strength.
With the retirement of a group of veterans led by Giggs and Scholes, Manchester United has not yet added any high-level players. Hargreaves, who was invested heavily by Ferguson, failed to meet expectations due to injury.
In this case, how strong is Manchester United? If it weren't for Ferguson, Manchester United's performance would be even worse than it is now.
Another explosive piece of news from the Daily Mail also attracted Su Dong's attention.
Ferguson forced Vidic to retire from the national team! It was revealed that Ferguson issued an ultimatum to Vidic in the locker room, asking him to choose between the national team and the Manchester United captain's armband. Vidic then issued a statement through Manchester United's official website, saying that he had decided to retire from the national team.
Interestingly, the Serbian Football Association also responded quickly. As usual, the official statement thanked Vidic for his contribution and so on. Then it added that it respected Vidic's decision, but welcomed him to return to the national team at any time.
Vidic has been controversial both at Manchester United and in the national team. In a statement on Manchester United's official website, he revealed that he went against the club's advice and went to play for the national team, but even so, he was still criticized, so he was very sad and determined to retire from the national team.
"He obviously wrote this statement with resentment." As a lawyer, Wang Chuqing is very sensitive to such details.
Su Dong could understand Vidic's difficulties. Ferguson's handling of the situation was not the first time, and it would not be the last.
The conflict between the club and the national team has never stopped. Even after FIFA was willing to pay for the national team players, it could not quell the club's anger and dissatisfaction.
I believe that Ferguson has long wanted to make Vidic choose between the two, but now he has seized the opportunity.
Manchester United suffered such a great defeat, but Vidic could not play and could only watch from the sidelines. If he did not agree to Ferguson's request, what would happen to him? "Take another look at this, it's related to you." Wang Chuqing handed over a newspaper.
This is this morning's Sun.
A photo was published on the front page of the news, showing Rooney holding a birthday party in a Chinese restaurant. The guests included Manchester City players such as Gareth Barry and Joe Hart, as well as some England internationals such as the Crouchs. After the dinner, they also went for karaoke, and the atmosphere was very lively.
What’s interesting is that on the front page, The Sun also published the news that Manchester United lost 0-5 to Manchester City at home.
The two pieces of news came one above the other, but the atmospheres were completely different, which created a very strange situation.
Manchester United's star player Rooney did not feel sad or lost at all after the team suffered a terrible defeat. He immediately organized his own birthday party and also invited players from his arch-rivals to celebrate.
Even Su Dong's reaction when he saw these for the first time was three words: inappropriate.
He could well imagine what Manchester United fans would think if they read this report. Damn, you don't care about the team's defeat?
After losing so badly, you still have the mind to celebrate your birthday?
This is actually the message that The Sun wants to convey, which is to make the fans full of resentment towards Rooney, and The Sun took the opportunity to accuse Rooney, vent the fans' resentment, and gain a wave of fans' favor.
This technique is not unfamiliar, but it is very effective every time I use it.
It doesn’t matter if it’s old-fashioned, what matters is that it works.
"Rooney is in trouble!" Su Dong shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Once this report comes out, it will definitely cause an uproar.
Who can accept such a thing in the face of a terrible defeat?
What's even funnier is that The Sun specifically put Gareth Barry and Joe Hart in a prominent position to remind Manchester United fans that look, Rooney is celebrating his birthday with those mortal enemies who massacred Old Trafford.
The media's old-fashioned methods of creating and destroying stars always work.
…………
…………
While the whole world was discussing Manchester City's second bloodbath at Old Trafford, the Sun was focusing on reporting Manchester United's internal conflicts, with Rooney being pushed to the forefront.
Even on the second day of the game, after reading the news, some Manchester United fans went to the Carrington training base and scolded Rooney, saying that he lacked a sense of honor. After losing the game like that, he still had the mind to hold a birthday party and sing karaoke. Was he worthy of his jersey and the salary paid by the club? Rooney's previous request for a pay rise had already made Manchester United fans very dissatisfied. Now such news has further stimulated Manchester United fans. Coupled with the media's instigation, even Manchester United and Ferguson dared not come forward to defend him.
Manchester City did not get involved in the incident. They just questioned Gareth Barry and Joe Hart as a routine matter and conducted alcohol tests on them. After confirming that they had not drunk alcohol, they no longer paid attention to it.
Today's players' eating habits are indeed much richer than in the past. Even every team has its own requirements. For example, some cannot eat pizza, and some prohibit hamburgers, but there is one thing that all teams abide by.
That is alcohol and carbonated drinks.
Since Guardiola and the locker room announced the ban on alcohol, Manchester City has become increasingly strict and standardized in its control over alcohol and carbonated drinks. Anyone who violates the ban will be punished.
Gareth Barry and Joe Hart did not violate the rules this time, they just came home too late after going out for karaoke, but Guardiola and the locker room turned a blind eye and ignored it.
Anyway, not drinking is a big improvement.
In competitive sports, being bad is the original sin.
As long as we win, everything is fine.
